Royals Report: 3 Things About KC’s Comatose Day In Cleveland

1) Royals Need A Good Road Trip

The Kansas City Royals slogged through an awful 4 and 12 stretch at the end of April and the beginning of May that they blamed on playing 16 games in 17 days with only three home games and flipping from the west to east coast. Now, the KC Royals have lost their first two games of their current 10-game road trip.

The Kansas City Royals are an awful 11-17 on the road.

The KC Royals need to turn things as a visiting team pretty soon, or else they risk getting into their heads that they can’t play on the road. That would be a rather bad thing, since the Kansas City Royals play two more games against Cleveland on Saturday and Sunday, and then travel to tough Baltimore for a three game set, before finishing with four games against another AL Central division rival in Chicago.

If the KC Royals don’t get it together soon, they can sink back down the AL Central standings very quickly. The good news is that the current road excursion is the team’s annual Father’s Day trip, and the Kansas City Royals have a good track record when they bring along their Dads. Is that really surprising? EVERY kid wants to play well in front of their Dad, even if they’re a professional baseball player in the major-leagues.

Here’s to the Dads helping their sons nipping a losing streak in the bud before it can get started.

The KC Royals will send Ian Kennedy to the mound (4-3, 3.03 ERA) for game 3 of the four game set in Cleveland. The Indians will counter with Josh Tomlin (7-1, 3.79 ERA) 6:15 CST at Jacobs Field in Cleveland, Ohio, June 4, 2016.
